<span class="header">The past</span><br /><br />
One day, early in the evening, a group of programmers-webmasters met in a moody place. Equipped with the glasses of cold beer, they began a discussion which soon ended on professional topics - DHTML, browsers and their differences. Amount of expendable work caused by it and the premiere of not compatible with anything, except the W3C recommendations, Netscape 6... They just couldn't resign from DHTML... But what if...<br /><br />
Exactly, 'but what if'? Simplify, make it universal, and get ready for other shocking premiers?<br /><br >
That was the spark.<br /><br >
But a lot of evenings and beer past away, until the Idea came - it is obvious that Ideas, those written with big I, require appropriate mood. Even if the Spark already exists...<br /><br />
And a lot, lot more beer had past away until Idea changed into Action.<br /><br />
That's how Alladyn Project began: a slice of code, which has only one, but very important goal: to allow the creator to forget about the browser differences.<br /><br />
And what's with the name?<br />It took us a lot of beer until we got it.<br /><br />
Finally, the name is a tribute to Dan Steinman and his DynDuo - only now the Duo suffix wasn't sufficient, it should be DynTrio, or rather DynQuadro... DynAll? Yes! All-a-Dyn!<br /><br />
But, remembering the potential hidden inside the module, maybe the better name would be "Alladyn's lamp"...?<br /><br /><br />
We give you a JavaScript library that allows you to - at last - think only about the logic and appearance of the websites, not on implementation differences; it's equipped with the animation module which isn't completely as good as Flash only because the browsers aren't as good as it.<br /><br /><br />
<span class="header">The future</span><br /><br />
This is not the end of the work. To be honest, it is only the beginning. We want Alladyn to constantly accomplish its goal - to be a cure for webmaster's headache. We hope the sites created with Alladyn will work as good and without changes in browsers that doesn't exist yet - in coming IE6, in the next Mozilla, and in first Opera that will have minimum functionality.<br /><br />
But we need your help - we can't test all the functions on all platforms, in all resolutions and color depths...<br /><br />
We're also waiting for the propositions of changes and development - the wish list on the main page will reflect it.<br /><br />
Alladyn is developed all the time. Version which you can see, numbered as premier one, had a lot of previous versions - we don't even know how much...<br /><br />
In the near future we will add to the site functions that will allow us to better and quicker communicate with you - open forum, maybe even chat. We are planning to build a knowledge base in the form of FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions. But we don't want to create those questions ourselves - we're waiting for yours, the real ones. We're also working on the system that will inform you about the new library versions.<br /><br />
If you would like to join us and take part in developing Alladyn - we'll gladly accept you in our team. And if you think that everything mentioned here doesn't make sense - please let us know also.<br />
